Key Benefits
Siebel application development and operations teams are being forced to change their working
practices to facilitate growth and innovation whilst maintaining compliance. Unified development
and operations teams are solely focused on delivering Siebel releases faster while minimizing
downtime and protecting production environment integrity.
• Enable agile release and
deploy Siebel updates in
a matter of minutes
At the center of all deployments are Siebel administrators, who have many tasks on their
hands – extracting local databases to support test and development environments, migrating
SRF repositories from development to test, deploying non-repository items and managing all
the planned and unplanned outages. And let’s not forget the production environment with its
releases and integrations, workflow management component groups and symbolic URL links.
Siebel releases are complex. That’s why Siebel deployments can easily take up a whole day, and if
an error occurs it’s hard to roll back and sometimes even harder to find where things went wrong.
• Deploy the right artifacts
and configuration settings
for each environment at
any level of complexity
The Automic Solution
Automic Siebel Deployment Automation from Automic Release Automation increases the agility
of Siebel environments. Deep integration with Siebel Tools and APIs, coupled with pre-configured
workflow templates for full Siebel Export and Import, provide fast, consistent and reliable Siebel
deployments every time – reducing downtime and leaving new application development and
integration initiatives uninterrupted.
With Automic Siebel Deployment Automation, your deployments will be:
• Fast – fully automated and consistent deployment across all Siebel instances
• Reliable – deploy Siebel consistently in Test and Production environments and
safely revert to previous application state should a deployment failure occur
• Auditable – governance across every step of the Siebel deployment process with
controls that ensure only authorized staff can promote code to production
How We Do It
Several key capabilities make Automic Siebel Deployment Automation the most advanced and
complete solution on the market.
Deep Integration with Siebel
A deep integration with Siebel through ADM, the Siebel Data Bean EAI and web services
APIs enables Siebel Deployment Automation to integrate and interact with all of your Siebel
environments. By having this single point of control, you can be confident that all of your Prod,
Dev and QA environments will be consistent.
Full Siebel Export Template
Pre-configured Siebel Export templates
provide parameter-driven workflows that
manage the full Siebel export process –
replacing the need to manually orchestrate
developers, DBAs and System Administrators.
In addition to support for multiple languages,
the workflows will run export from any Siebel
enterprise, and compile and package all of
• Reduce planned and
unplanned downtime
• Prevent unauthorized access
to production environments
• Free Siebel administrators
and developers from release
and deployment tasks

the SRFs, browser scripts, repository files and schema files into a single package that will be
imported to another Siebel enterprise.
Full Siebel Import Template
Pre-configured Siebel Import templates provide parameter-driven workflows that manage the full
Siebel import process, ensuring the graceful shutting down of servers in the correct order as well
as importing SRFs and repositories in parallel before verification – again replacing the need to
manually orchestrate developers, DBAs and System Administrators.
Enforce Operational Controls
Enforce controls so only authorized staff can access the production environment. Track every
step of the deployment process and any changes made, giving you a fully auditable process that
can be easily reported on.
Recover Fast When Deployments Fail
With Siebel Deployment Automation, packages can be quickly redeployed from a previously
known good state to automatically and quickly override the changes that are causing errors.

Automic allows companies to take a systematic approach to automation by incrementally replacing
multiple ad hoc tools with a centralized platform – allowing businesses to scale their investment
across people, process and technology. Automic’s platform executes core business, application
and infrastructure processes – whether on-premise, in the cloud or for the hybrid in between –
providing visibility and control across the entire business.
